how long can you leave it on your teeth?

You need to start slow. Try 15 minutes at the start. You will have tooth sensitivity (seriously) if you wear it too long. This is NOT a whitening strip that should be worn for an hour!

My dentist says to leave it on for 45 mins at the 35% level. If you are looking for something that you can keep on longer, the 20% formula can be worn while sleeping, as it stops working after 8 hrs. The 35%, as this is will make your teeth more sensitive, and be sure to brush them with toothpaste not just rinse when you remove the trays.

Everyone's sensitivity is different.....I can leave mine on up to 45 minutes but instructions say 15 minutes. Be sure not to overload trays or you will burn your gums and that hurts big time!

Wow are you serious? I leave mine on all night and take them out in the morning. Is this why my teeth sting when I do this?Typically about 7 hours. Is this wrong? I often get comments on how white my teeth are though.

When I use the trays, I do anywhere from 30 mins to an hour. Sometimes longer, sometime shorter. I believe 20-30 mins is recommended.

If you have sensitive teeth, you might start off keeping your bleaching tray in only for 2-3 hours the first time and increase if you can tolerate it. That's what I did. It takes a little longer to get your teeth whiter that way but you won't feel the discomfort.

This will work great! Place them on your unbrushed teeth in the morning, allow 30 minutes then take them off and brush. Depending on your teeth's sensitive will determine how often you whitening

They say you should not swallow any of it. I don't know how anyone could leave this stuff in their mouth overnight without swallowing. I only leave in for about 15 mins at which point my gums become irritated. That seems to be enough time.

I was told by my dentist that each of these syringes will last 7 days. You put a dot of the whitening solution in the middle of each tooth impression on the front of your trays. It will spread out when you put your trays on.

I used it for 30 seconds on my face, but it remains warm I belive for at least a good 3 to 5 minutes. It is not advisable to leave it much longer than that. Hope this helps.

Yes. They are designed to adhere to your teeth for 2 plus hours. Trying to remove them before that can be very tricky, and not fun. I would only use them when you have 2 or more hours to wear them otherwise it seems wasteful and you won't have a good time scraping them off. They are worth it though. That being said, I drink coffee and I'm a smoker so I use these for a week and then regular 30 minute strips on a regular basis the rest of the year to keep the momentum going. Enjoy!

If it's regular dental care just swish a small amount a few seconds after brushing. If there is a gingivitis or periodontal issue use a tablespoon swish and hold as long as you can stand it. You can also put some on a cotton makeup pad cut up and hold it on a spot for a while. I've also found that a product called Oregadent by North American Herb and Spice heals! (In addition to silver) ;)

30 minutes is plenty to get them clean and keep them smelling fresh. I always rinsed my Invisalign and now retainer under hot water before putting in to soak. It is perfectly safe to soak all day though when you wear retainers only at night.

Leave it on for at least 12 hours. The longer you leave it the firmer it is. Also, it is not going to be as thick as store bought because they add a thickener to it.

I keep it on until it starts to burn or gets frosty. Probably 1-3 min. It depends on the,area of my face.

Yes, the longer it is left it, the better the effect. I leave it in for 20-30 minutes although for some people 10 will give their desired effect.

You will need trays for this. I had my dentist custom make mine, but there are good ones you can buy over the counter. Apply the gel on the front part of the tray that will hit the visible fronts of your teeth. I do this right before bed and sleep with them in. You'll need 2-3 weeks to completely whiten, after that just routine 1-2 day maint when needed. Your teeth may become sensitive over the first time, but should return back to normal.

Sure! Brush teeth do not floss. Apply gel to trays spread with brush thinly front and back. Try not to use too much it can irritate your gums. Leave trays in. Put led light on place it between your teeth and leave on and in mouth. 1-2 hours. Or no light 2 hours. Rinse mouth after. Then eat and drink as usual. On light, open battery casing pull tab to activate batteries. Then turn light on!

I did 6 days. Since I do not apply gel to crowns, mine might last longer than someone with all natural teeth. I use about 1/3 to 1/2 syringe per application. This has me use two or three syringes per cycle. I refresh about every six months.

The instructions recommend 30 minutes for this strength. I personally take a wet tooth brush and remove the gel residue so it doesn't hurt my gums. I do not rinse.
